*** Note that I spent DAYS scrubbing tons of loud claps from this quiet performance from T3(27 claps, 1 burst of feedback), T4(14 claps), T5(24 claps + 1 burst of feedback), T6(57 claps), T7(28 claps), T8(61 claps + 3 bursts of feedback), T9(81 claps, EQ to reduce a whistle, a yell, and 3 bursts of feedback), T10(11 claps, 1 burst of bad feedback), T11(37 claps + 4 bursts of bad feedback), T13(106 claps!), T15(50 claps + EQ to minimize 2 whistles), T16(11 claps), T18(1 clap + 1 burst of feedback), T20(12 claps)

*** Unfortunately there's nothing I could do about the extremely chatty crowd during this set. I was running on a very tall mic stand, so it's quite listenable, but still...The crowd used Bobby's set as their "social hour" and were barely paying attention to the music. :( Note Bobby's comment at the end of Lost Sailor "I can hardly hear myself" saying he couldn't play "Saint of Circumstance" because it was too loud and needed to go in a different direction. Luckily a few people who WERE paying attention yelled back and convinced him otherwise. :)

This was the 2nd show at the newly-reopened Capitol Theatre. It was a benefit concert for Headcount. It was also Pete Shapiro's 40th birthday concert.

Subject: Let Bobby Sing!!

I freely admit I have been very critical of Bobby's style for at least a decade. I do not care for his aproach to the way he sings & I wish he didn't take on so much of the Garcia catalog. But, he still is a very important musician in my life, & I have the utmost respeect for him. There is no question he cares deeply about the music, & he has been a dedicated board member, fund raiser, & ardent supporter of Headcount since the beginning. I admire him for that. Its a shame that the crowd at the benefit couldn't restrain itself from needless chatter & take the time to enjoy the effort of a man who has rocked that room for over 40 years!! Incredible. This is a pretty loose Bobby set i m o, and the sit ins are fun. Thanks Scotty B!!
